Some Hopefuly easy questions

First question I have has to do with the Maint Req's light.. what is the difference for when it blinks 10 times at start up and when it stays steady all the time? Mine was blinking since around 60k and now a few hundred miles later it is steady..

Secondly I was told that we have some sort of ac/filter (not air filter) which we should clean every so often, anyone know anything about this and where its at? thanks

Ok for you maint req light all you have to do to get rid of it is put your key in the ignition dont start it just yet before you turn it press you trip meter and hold it for about ten sec and keep it held as you start the car then it should be gone.

Now for you ac filters they are behind the glove box there are clips on either side of the inside of the glove box and they are easy to pop out then there are your filters there is a cover on them there are two of them that go in there but you can check them and if you feel they need to be changed then you can get there from your local autoparts store or dealership i hope that helps

Thanks for the ac filters, but I know how to reset the light just wondering what the difference between steady light and blinking light?

nothing really, that light doesn't mean anything at all. it's just a factory preset and it's set to go off at different mileage intervals, when honda thinks you need maintanence on certain things. reset it and ignore it.

Re: Some Hopefuly easy questions

mind if I ask two more questions since this topic is open? well since my ac filter was pretty dirty and i cleaned it seems to blow much more efficient ..i might as well clean the regular air filters I know where one is but is there two on our cars this is what I hear? also my ac light on my dash is out I want to fix it is this going to be difficult? Do I have to remove most of my dash? Can someone link me a diy on it if Ihave to open it once again thanks
